Question

A circular horse pen has a diameter of 12 meters. What is the area of the horse pen (use 3.14 for pi and round to the nearest 100th)

Answer 1

The area of a circular horse pen can be calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius of the pen.

Given that the diameter of the pen is 12 meters, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:

Radius (r) = Diameter / 2 = 12 / 2 = 6 meters

Substituting the radius into the formula, we get:

A = 3.14 * (6)^2 = 3.14 * 36 = 113.04 square meters

Rounding to the nearest 100th, the area of the horse pen is approximately 113.04 square meters.
